The App Extension API was released as a companion to 1Password 5 for iOS last year. Now that 1Password 6 is out, I’m sure some of you are curious to learn about what’s new in the API. To celebrate the App Extension API’s first anniversary, I’d like to tell you about one of its best-kept secrets: Time-based, One-time Passwords (TOTPs).

TOTP + 1Password extension = ?

Did you know that our App Extension API supports one-time passwords? In fact, it’s been there since version 1.5 of the API. If you haven’t already, I recommend that you upgrade to the latest version, 1.6.1. Not only can your users fill their usernames and passwords in your app with a few simple taps, their one-time passwords can be filled just as easily.
